Despite a 6-1 thrashing of Southampton on Saturday, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels the future will be even more exciting for Arsenal fans as he praises his adaptable squad.

Wenger lost Robin van Persie and Alex Song in the summer but their replacements were the catalyst in the Gunners impressive display at the Emirates Stadium that ensured Arsenal remain unbeaten so far this season.

Wenger told talkSPORT that the fans are in for a pleasing time in the future if things plan out the way they should.

“It’s exciting because we have a good combination of youth and experience, of pace and technique. It’s very interesting. The crowd feels it and you see that the crowd gets behind the team,” he said.

“You feel there is something positive coming out of the team, a positive energy and that is the most pleasing thing for a manager.

“They want to [win] they have a good bond, a good attitude and you feel as though there is potential there."
